[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1859962, member: 46727"] I doubt it. I haven't run into a keyboard or mouse that couldn't be used on a Mac. Not all functions may be available on third party keyboards and rodents, but for the most part they will work. There are problems with some third party BT and wireless keyboards that prevent a Mac from going into recovery because it's not recognized until after boot up. As for your USB-C hubs causing your machine to heat up, that's very likely because of the heavy load you're placing on your MacBook Pro with the devices attached to the hub. Probably not a good idea to run that way over a prolonged period of time. External fans are really no help because all that heat being generated is from within the machine. The fan is only going to cool the outside of it. [/QUOTE]
